About this study

Official title: Antioxidant Supplementation in Pregnant Women With Low Antioxidant Status

The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefit of several micro nutrients of antioxidants (using milk) in a cohort of women with low antioxidant status and the changes in cell-free mRNA.

Read the detailed description

Preeclampsia remains one of leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Despite intensive research, the cause of preeclampsia has not been established. One of the theories is exaggeration of systemic inflammatory that might induce reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has been proposed that pregnancy will progress uneventfully if adequate antioxidant exists to buffer ROS. The ROS can induce endothelial dysfunction which leads to clinical symptoms of hypertension and proteinuria in preeclampsia. Several large randomized clinical trials of antioxidant supplementation have concluded that there were no benefits of antioxidants supplementation for prevention of preeclampsia. However, there is limited information about benefits of antioxidants in women with low antioxidant status at early gestation that deprived of the antioxidant most. Our aim, therefore, in this study was to assess whether early supplementation with milk enriched with vitamin and mineral, such as Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, carotene, vitamin B6, B12, C, E, selenium, and calcium lowers the risk of preeclampsia in women with low antioxidant status at early gestation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Preeclampsia

    Preeclampsia was defined as gestational hypertension (systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg [Korotkoff V] on ≥ 2 occasions after 20 weeks gestation) with proteinuria (> 0.3 g/day). Severe preeclampsia was defined by the presence of >1 of the following: (a) severe gestational hypertension (systolic pressure ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg on 2 occasions after gestational week 20), or (b) severe proteinuria (≥5g protein in a 24-h urine specimen or ≥3 g in 2 random urine samples collected ≥4 h apart)

    Measured: 40 weeks

  2. Preeclampsia

    Preeclampsia was defined as gestational hypertension (systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg [Korotkoff V] on ≥ 2 occasions after 20 weeks gestation) with proteinuria (> 0.3 g/day). Severe preeclampsia was defined by the presence of >1 of the following: (a) severe gestational hypertension (systolic pressure ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg on 2 occasions after gestational week 20), or (b) severe proteinuria (≥5g protein in a 24-h urine specimen or ≥3 g in 2 random urine samples collected ≥4 h apart)

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cell-free mRNA

    Secondary outcome were level of mRNA level of angiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1), placental growth factor (PlGF) and endoglin(ENG)); antioxidant status (FRAP, heme oksigenase-1 (HO-1) and superoxide-dismutase (SOD))

    Measured: 40 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing micronutrient antioxidant in people with Pregnant Women and Preeclampsia, run by Showa University at 1 site in Indonesia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Indonesia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Dec 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Preeclampsia (time frame: 40 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01232205, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2010.
